A little bit about me
Hi! I am Emily, a rising senior at James Madison University, from Charlotte, North Carolina! I am 21 years old and have been babysitting and nannying for over a decade now. My youngest sibling is 11 years younger than I, so I gained a ton of experience growing up and taking care of him throughout his different stages of life (he's 10 now). I have babysat for many families and nannyed for many as well over the years, and love nothing more than being someone the kids are excited to see should their parents need to step away for any reason. As a babysitter/nanny, I am very hands-on with the kids, playing games with them, helping them with any schoolwork, and just being a buddy that they can feel safe with. I am happy to work with kids of all ages, and have experience working with kids with special needs!

A little bit about me
Hello, my name is Devin, I am 24 years old. I am a dedicated caregiver and student. I have been an adult special needs caregiver for two years now. I have worked with two clients; for 16 months I was with a young man with Down syndrome, autism, and epilepsy, and for the past 9 months I have been with a woman with phelan-mcdermid syndrome, autism, and OCD.
I have volunteered with and babysat children since age 14, and got my first role in a daycare at 16. Since, I have gained years of experience as a nanny, preschool teacher, babysitter, and caregiver. Outside of caregiving, I am currently a student studying English literature and creative writing, on track to graduate in December.
I am looking to transition into a full time role . I am excited to commit to a role for years to come. I am creative, artsy, funny, active, outdoorsy, and I just love learning, trying new things/ having new experiences. I am also organized, attentive, and would love to step into a household manager role.

A little bit about me
My name is Jillian, and I am a 31 year old female living in Waxhaw, North Carolina. I own my own business and work from home. I have my degree in Biology and my previous jobs include customer service and management positions. I absolutely adore kids and have been babysitting since I was 15. I am able to cook, not only standard meals but also gluten free and dietetic meals. I am also very good with homework help, as I am formally a math and science tutor. I am also kind of a neat freak, so I would be more than happy to help with light cleaning duties. Not only would this kind of job help me out financially, but it would be fun for me. Please let me know if I sound like I would be a good fit for your family.
